New @PrunedaLab research direction: a #RareDisease of the #ubiquitin-like modifier UFM1. This sets the stage for understanding and, one day, helping kids with UBA5 disease. Inspiring to work with @RuthJeanNapier and @RaidenScience on this important topic. doi.org/10.7554/eLife.…

What can bacteria teach us about #ubiquitin? A lot! In our latest preprint, @tylergfranklin set out to understand how secreted bacterial ligases catalyze ubiquitin modifications during infection. What he found will surprise you! biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

Yesterday the @PrunedaLab produced its first PhD scientist! Congratulations @tylergfranklin on five years of incredible growth and science, capped by a fantastic thesis defense. Added bonus: his paper was accepted on the same day! Keep an eye on this one, he’ll do great things.



Excited to share our preprint on how a cytosolic bacteria evades LPS ubiquitylation and antibacterial autophagy through an effector with esterase activity. Led by @CMBI_Szczesna in the lab @ImperialInfect @CBRB_Imperial with superb collaborator @jnpruneda researchsquare.com/article/rs-298…




I’m very excited to share our latest work, in which we identify, characterize, and apply a Legionella deubiquitinase that targets host Lys6-linked #ubiquitin signals with extreme precision. biorxiv.org/content/10.110…



Ever tried to give a 3-minute research presentation? It isn't easy! @PrunedaLab member @camgroberts gave a fantastic flash talk at #UKcellmicro2021 this week and even won a prize! Congratulations to Cam and thank you to the organizers for such a great meeting!


Huge congratulations to @PrunedaLab member @justinevnguyen for skillfully defending her Master’s thesis on bacterial deubiquitinases today! Well done Justine!
